The Shoshone

By Christin Ditchfield

Book Overview

Traditionally, the Shoshone lived in bands that traveled across an area between the Sierra Nevada and Rocky Mountains, known today as the Great Basin. The acquisition of horses in the 1700s changed the lives of the Shoshone by enabling them to travel farther and hunt more successfully. This book provides a fascinating look at the traditions and beliefs of the Shoshone people as well as a glimpse into the life of the Shoshone today. Book jacket.
